This guide lists informative sources on three types of electrochemical
energy storage systems: batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. A battery
is a multicelled direct-current voltage source that converts chemical, thermal,
nuclear, or solar energy into electrical energy. A fuel cell is an electrochemical
device in which the reaction between a fuel, such as hydrogen or methanol,
and an oxidant, such as oxygen or air, converts the chemical energy of the
fuel directly into electrical energy without combustion. In contrast to
a battery, a fuel cell can be thought of as a chemical battery whose reactants
are fed from external sources rather than from part of the battery. Fuel
cells consume reactants that must be replenished, while batteries store
electrical energy chemically in a closed system. Supercapacitors, also known
as ultracapacitors or electrochemical double-layer capacitors, are electrochemical
storage devices that offer both high power and high energy and work like
large versions of common electrical capacitors.
Related titles in the Science Tracer Bullet series are TB 92-3,
Electric Vehicles and TB 06-8, Alternative Fuel
Vehicles and Combustion Processes. Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography,
this compilation is designed--as the name of the series implies--to
put the reader on target.
